********

One of our heart desires is to fly above our heights,
But many have been limited to their depths,
Different circumstances  have bound us down,
And we have been struggling even till dawn.

Our lives is at the mercy of a social authority,
Who will liberate us from this captivity?
We have been debilitated in our attempt to move,
Our situation say we have nothing to prove.

Poverty has sold us into slavery,
Gone are the days when we look bravery,
But ******* has drawn strength out of us,
And now we have been treated unjust like a horse.

We thought education can give us freedom,
But we have been dealt blow in our kingdom,
In ******* we cry for rescue,
Their short comings is not an excuse.

When we are found at a very risk of life,
We count it as an experience in order to survive,
In hard situation we should not give up,
And each time we fall we should rise up.

When my complex soul is shunned,
Should I asked for help from the sun?
But my wings have been cut short by *******,
I gazed into the sky to seek for courage.

We have been feeble as well as dumb,
We have been confined and dumped,
Liberation is the only language of *******,
And will keep fighting until we are salvaged.
******* dribbled us from all fortune
